UCLA Engagement Photo

Using a shallow depth of field can provide a beautiful sense of dreaminess to an otherwise regular image. In this case, a shallow depth of field used at UCLA added softness to this portrait of a couple in love. I rarely use an f-stop of 2.0 on an engagement session, as the plane of focus can sometimes be too shallow to get both faces into focus. But for this image, it worked perfectly.
